This book offers a haunting, first-hand account of a boy soldier who was ripped from the life he knew in Sierra Leon and forced to fight for what he was brainwashed to believe was right. His story starts when he was 12, living with his parents and chronicles all the way up until he is living in the United States, free from such physical anguish, but still suffering from such extreme loss. This is the type of story you read about in the newspapers but never hear firsthand. I highly suggest this book - the next time I think I'm having a bad day because my car won't start, etc. I'll remember what a first world problem that is.
